Nha Trang , Vietnam
Ana Mandara, meaning "beautiful home for the guests" is reminiscent of an old Vietnamese village and is situated directly on the beach off the most famous thoroughfare, Tran Phu Boulevard. Furnished with native woods and rattan, the true image of Vietnam is reflected by warm hospitality, the rice culture, and unique tastes. Set on 26,000 square metres of private tropical gardens overlooking the sea, Ana Mandara Resort comprises 17 villas containing 74 well-appointed guest rooms, situated in either plush tropical gardens or with spectacular views of Nha Trang Bay.
Regional climate differences mean that there is no best time; try September to December to avoid the humidity in the north, December to April to miss the rains in the south and December to March is perfect for trips to the Central highlands. Catch the Trung Thu Moon festival in September or October for traditional lion and dragon dances.
